GROWTH & OUTLOOK

Vysarn Outlook

==> picture [88 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Vysarn to establish a national platform capable of delivering sustained earnings growth

  • 1HFY25: EBT anticipated to be below 2HFY24 following ongoing conservatism within the WA resources sector as a result of the broader global economic and political environment, and consequential uncertainty in commodity prices.

2HFY25: FY25 EBT is expected to be materially skewed to 2HFY25 subject to a combination of the realisation of latent demand in the WA resource sector and the acquisition completion of Waste Water Services (WWS) and CMP Consulting Group (CMP)*. The anticipated step change in the 2HFY25 earnings run rate has the potential to provide the foundation for further earnings growth looking forward to FY26.
